SOAP DISH.

Application filed May 21, 1925.

T 0 all who/m` t may concern.'

Be it known that I, OTTO G. Hrrcrrcocir, a citizen of the United States,residing at Erie, county of Erie, tate of -Pennsylvania, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Soap Dishes, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to soap dishes, particularly adapted for use withlaundry tray fixtures, and has for its object to provide an improvedmeans for clamping said dish to one of the vertical water supply pipes,above the laundry tub, whereby said dish will be held rigidly inposition against movement in any direction.

rlfhis object I accomplish in the manner and by the means hereinafterdescribed and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawing,in which Figure l is a perspective view of my iinproved soap dish shownclamped to a vertical pipe.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same, the tray being shown partlybroken away.

Figure 3 is an enlarged detail sectional view taken on the line III-IIIof Figure 2. Figure l is a detail perspective view of the clampingblock.

Similar numerals of reference denote corresponding parts in the severalviews.

In said drawing the reference numeral l denotes a conventional soap dishformed of suitable unyielding material, and provided with the usual soapsupporting ribs 2 in the bottom thereof, and also with drain apertures 3at its front ends. Formed integral with the rear wall of said dish aretwo lugs l projecting therefrom in parallel relation, said lugs beingapertured at 5 for the free passage of a screw bolt 6, headed on one endat 7 Said bolt is adapted for screwthreaded engagement with a clampingblock 8, curved at 9 on its front face to conform to the generalconfiguration of .the water supply pipe 10 to which the device is to beclamped.

In applying the soap dish to the water pipe, the same is so disposedwith respect to said pipe that .the lugs 4 embrace said pipe,

Serial No. 31,760.

as shown in the drawing, the wall between said lugs being suitablycurved to fit the configuration of the pipe, as best seen in Figures 1.and 3. The vclamping block S then is positioned against the rear wall ofthe pipe on one side of its center, asshown in Figure 3, and the bolt 6passed in screwthreaded engagement through the same and freely throughthe apertures 5 in the lugs et. By tightening said bolt the clampingblock 8 will be forced into rigid contact with the piper 10, due to theengagement of the head 7 of said bolt with the outer face of one of thelugs il, thus rigidly clamping the soap dish in position.

It will be understoodthat the clamping block 8 and bolt G may bereversed, if it is more convenient to apply the same from the oppositeside, by simply VVreversing said block, and inserting the bolt 6therethrough anjl through the lugs 4 from the opposite s1 e.

It will also be understood that my ini-- proved clamp is adapted toattach a soap dish in any desired position with relation to any verticalcircular support.

Having thus fully described my inven-A tion, what I claim as new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is 2 l. A soap dish adapted to beclamped to a pipe, comprising a pair of lugs adapted to embrace saidpipe, a clamping block disposed between said lugs and adapted to engagesaid pipe, and a headed screw-bolt in threaded engagement with saidblock and passing freely through apertures in said ugs.

2. A soap dish adapted to be clamped to a pipe, comprising a pair oflugs adapted to embrace said pipe, a clamping` Vblock disposed betweensaid lugs and shaped on one face to fit said pipe, and a headedscrewbolt in threaded engagement Iwith said block tnd passing freelythrough apertures in said ugs. l

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.

-orfro e, HITCHCOCK.
